Description
Taking a problem-solving approach that focuses on common programming tasks encountered during data analysis, Spector uses examples and sample programs to introduce various SAS[small R in a circle] programming concepts in the context of social science problems.
Basic programming concepts such as loops, arrays, counters, branching, inputting and outputting, as well as the principles of structured programming, are introduced in a logical sequence so that the reader can write programs that are orderly and that avoid excessive and disorganized branching. Throughout, Spector offers readers a three-step approach (preplanning, writing the program and debugging), tips about helpful features and practices to use, as well as advice on pitfalls to avoid.
